Fastening button structure

ABSTRACT

A fastening button structure of the present invention comprises a base and a hooking body, wherein a first connecting device is formed on one side of the base. A second connecting device is formed on one side of the hooking body, wherein the second connecting device is connected to the first connecting device. A protrusion is formed on one side of the hooking body, wherein decorations can attach to the protrusion of the hooking body. More particularly, the decorations can be altered or removed or exchanged according to the user&#39;s preference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The present invention relates generally to a design of a fastening button structure. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fastening button structure that can be used to attach and exchange decorations onto the buttons.

2. Description of the Related Art

Decorations are not only utilized to increase the overall sense of beauty, it also can have a striking effect to the whole outfit. As a matter of fact, most ladies utilize decorations on their clothes to bring out the personal taste of fashion and increase the sense of beauty of the whole outfit. Many decoration and clothing manufacturers also utilize the decorations on their products to attract customers. Present-day, even the pets wear decorations. The pet owners utilize the decorations on the necklace or the foot chain of their pets to bring out the personal taste of fashion.

A traditional method of decorating, the decorations are always sewed directly onto clothes or an ornamentation, wherein the decorations can be either personally purchased to beautify the clothes or the accessories, or the clothing manufacturers decorated their products. Apart from the above-mentioned traditional method, another traditional method is illustrated on FIG. 1.

Refer to FIG. 1, a decoration 22 is attached to fastening rings 21 and the fastening rings 21 are then fixed to a belt ring 23. As shown on the FIG. 1, the decoration 22 is tightly fixed to the belt ring 23 by the fastening rings 21. This method is suitable for those hooking bodies that cannot directly sew onto clothes or accessories. Although this method of decorating has some advantage than the first mentioned traditional method. However, the traditional methods of hooking the decorations are still not conveniently because they are required to either sew directly or indirectly onto a fixing object.

For example, when the decorations are directly sewed onto a particular clothe or an ornamentation, if that particular outfit is not matched with other accessories or other clothes, then the whole outfit will need to be changed. It is not only inconvenience, it is also possible that the clothes or the accessory will be abandoned. Furthermore, during the process of decoration attachment, if the decoration is accidentally damaged, then the clothes will have to be repaired, or even abandoned. Furthermore, the decorations are in fashion according to seasons, certain color and design of the decorations can be easily out of fashion. The sense of visual beauty of the whole outfit is affected. Therefore, when the decorations cannot be removed or exchanged easily, it will be inconvenient for the users and the cost will be increased.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention to provide a fastening button structure that can be used to attach a decoration, and the decoration can be easily removed and changed to a different decoration in accordance with the preference of a user. In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective of the present invention, the fastening button structure of the present invention comprises a base and a hooking body, wherein one side of the base consists of a first connecting device. One side of the hooking body has a second connecting device which can connect to the first connecting device of the base. A protrusion which is formed on the other side of the hooking body is used to hang the decorations and it also allow to remove or alter the decorations in accordance with the preference of the user. Both forgoing general description and the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The accompanying examples and drawings are included to provide a better understanding of the objective, the character and the function of the present invention. The drawings illustrate embodiment of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.

Refer to FIG. 2, which illustrates an assembled view of a fastening button structure of the present invention. The fastening button structure 1 comprises a base 11 and a hooking body 12. A connecting device 111 is formed on one side of the base 11. A second connecting device 121 is formed on one side of the hooking body 12 wherein the second connecting device 121 can connect to the first connecting device 111. The first connecting device 111 and the second connecting device 121 are connected together to a clothes or an accessory. The connecting method between the first connecting device 111 and the second connecting device 121 is based on a connecting principle between a protrusion and a slot.(The connecting principle can be extended to utilize between a metal bar and metal tube to connected together.)

The other side of the hooking body 12 has a connecting neck 122 wherein the connecting part 122 extends to form a protrusion 123. The protrusion 123 can be any geometrical shapes, for example a circular shape, a squared shape or a rhomb shape etc. The diameter of the protrusion 123 is slightly bigger than the diameter of the connecting part 122. A slot 124 is formed on the protrusion 123 wherein any movable decorations having a smaller diameter than the slot 124 can be used. The decorations are not directly or indirectly sewed onto the clothes or the accessories, as a result, the decorations can be changed or renewed easily.

Refer to FIG. 3 showing assembled view of a fastening button structure in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The fastening button structure comprises a base 11 and a hooking body 12. A first connecting device 111 is formed on one side of the base 1. A second connecting device 121 is formed on one side of the hooking body 12 and is connected to the first connecting device 111 of the base 11. The connection between the first connecting device 111 and the second connecting device 121 is utilized a connecting method between a protrusion and a slot. (The connecting method can be extended to utilize between a metal bar and metal tube to connected together.). The fastening button structure is then attached to a clothes or an accessory by utilizing such connecting method.

A protrusion 123 is extended from a connecting neck 122 which is formed on one side of the hooking body 12. The protrusion 123 can be any geometrical shape such as a circular shape, a squared shape or a rhomb etc. The diameter of the protusion 123 is slightly bigger than the diameter of the of the connecting neck 122. A slot 124 is formed on the protrusion 123 wherein a hooking member 125 can hook onto the slot 124. The decoration can then attach to the hooking member 125 without being fixed to the clothes or accessories.

FIG. 4 is an assembled view illustrating one example of utilization of the fastening button structure in FIG. 3 in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention. A base 11 of a fastening button structure 1 is fixed onto one side of a fixing object showing in FIG. 4. A hooking body 12 of the fastening button structure 1 is then fixed onto the other side of the fixing object. When the base 11 and the hooking body 12 are connected together, they are then fixed to the fixing object. One of the main purposes of the present invention is that even when the fastening button structure 1 of is not attached any decoration the fastening button structure 1 itself already can increase the overall outlook of the accessory or the clothes. If a decoration is added, a hooking member 125 is provided on the hooking body 12 to allow the decoration attached easily to the fastening button structure 1.

Another objective of the present invention is to design a fastening button structure that can attach any kind of the decorations.
